Predator prey models as presented in class generally result in a.) Oscillations in abundance between predator and prey b.) Exclusion of the prey by the predator c.) Exclusion of the predator by the prey d.) Exclusion of both…
In vial one, a wild type hyper female Drosophila and wild type mellow male Drosophila were crossed respectively to determine the dominant behavioural phenotype. The first reciprocal cross was then carried out in vial two to define whether or not the behavioural phenotype is x-linked recessive. According to the results obtained from vial one, when the wild type hyper female and wild type mellow male was crossed, the resulting offspring’s phenotypes were all wild type hyper. This cross shows that the hyper behavioral phenotype can be considered dominant in comparison to mellow.…
Prediction 1: If the starting population of the prey is higher than the predators, the resulting population of the seals will be lower than the population of the whales.…
A) The resource defense model is considered to help a group of primates obtains more food resources. The reason is because as a group they have the ability to outnumber a small group or individuals when competing for food…
Note: This graph presents information on predator-prey interactions. It also provides information, indirectly, about intraspecific competition.…
In this pack of BIO 315 Week 2 Discussion Question 3 you will find the next information: Describe the three main types of predator defined in ecology. How does an understanding of fitness, abundance, and foraging behavior help us understand predation? How...…
Succession, the process of a community changing over time, can be broken down into sub groups such as ecological, primary, pond, and secondary. Ecological succession being the most basic. In the Succession Lab, we observed a community in a ecosystem. As we recorded the data each class, we observed that succession takes place with rapid speed for in each observation, a new specimen is identified.…
Ethologist Konrad Lorenz demonstrated the power of instinct when he was able to get young geese to imprint on him. He noted that geese would form an attachment to the first moving thing they encountered after they had hatched which would usually have been the mother. Instead Lorenz ensured that he was the first moving thing they encountered; the geese became attached and imprinted on him.…
As one might expect from activist groups, their focus is on civic engagement, demanding not the mere consumption of history, but citizens taking active roles to determine how and what is remembered. Undoubtedly, the need to break with civic passivity "inspired by communism" emphasizes both the discursive transfer of knowledge and the opportunities for incarnated experiences of "normal" life during communism. The latter involves commemorative performances, such as queuing to buy bananas in socialist-style fruit stands, which re-invoke how time was "captured" by the socialist state and the resulting struggles to acquire basic consumer goods (Verdery, 1996) . In a similar vein, Opona plans to create a Totalitarian Simulator, a "large-scale interactive…
The simulation when all predators were present. The reason is because when predators, specifically starfish, are present the mussel population along with populations of all the rest are able to be controlled. This results in mussels not taking over using their competitive dominance allowing other prey to thrive so that the other predators can survive and be part of the ecological diversity.…
Alabama is home some twenty state parks. They consist of natural springs, natural pockets, caverns, mountains, forests, waterfalls, and more. This essay will describe the major structural and functional dynamics of the Oak Mountain State Park ecosystem as well as discuss human affects to Oak Mountain’s cycling of matter, how knowledge of ecosystems can help in the management of this ecosystem, and the implications of specie interactions on the ecosystem.…

In this practical, the teleostic model of Zebrafish, also called Danio rerio, was examined in its various stages of neurulation. The Zebrafish model is beneficial to experiments like this one for a number of reasons, the most major one in this experiment being its short life cycle. The life cycle of a Zebrafish is extremely short, lasting only 90 days. This fact is important as in the practical that was carried out, the majority of the neurulation of the Zebrafish can be observed in a number of hours as within the first 24 hours after fertilisation, the formation of the zygote, cleavage, blastulation, gastrulation and segmentation can each be observed. The size of the Zebrafish embryo is important as well, as the large diameter of 0.7mm egg,…
